Laurel Falls Trailhead: Laurel Falls

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Laurel Falls is located 3.8 miles west of the Sugarlands Visitor Center in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This 80’ cascade tumbles down Laurel Branch, a heavily forested drainage on the south slope of Cove Mountain. The falls are named for mountain laurel, an abundant evergreen shrub known for its prolific spring bloom.
